An aggregator has to handle whatever is thrown at it
Quote
if they had put something else in there, like, like, even one single letter in the GUID, then it would not have parsed that way, but, but we need to be a business. Is not their fault. We need to be able to handle whatever's thrown

Summary
A Bible-in-a-year feed used day numbers like '15.267' as GUIDs, and the parser read them as numbers, merging day 26 and day 260. Dave doesn't blame the publisher: as a business, the Index needs to handle whatever feeds throw at it.

It's not against the rules. It's just XML.
